INVITATION: OPEN CONFERENCE - RACE AND RACISM
Welcome to the CERiTE Conference, 23–24 October 2025 at the University of Inland Norway, Hamar.

We are delighted to invite all interested parties to the final conference of the CERiTE project.

At The University of Inland Norway, the study “Critical Examination of Race and Racism in Teacher Education” (CERiTE) has been conducted during the period 2021–2025.
The project is funded by the Research Council of Norway (RCN).
The CERiTE project has focused on examining how current teacher education, including early childhood teacher education, prepares future teachers to teach about and address racism in schools and kindergartens. How do teacher students and teacher educators perceive the teaching of racism and discrimination in teacher education today?

The CERiTE research team, in collaboration with various partners, has developed research-based knowledge in this area. The findings from the CERiTE study will be among the contributions presented at the conference. In addition, a range of exciting studies in the field will be presented by both national and international researchers.

The CERiTE project is coordinated by The University of Inland Norway in partnership with Østfold University College, Elverum Municipality, the Nansen Center for Peace and Dialogue, the Norwegian Emigrant Museum, Glomdal Museum, Randsfjord Museum, and a VR company.

Participation in the conference is free of charge, and lunch will be provided for all attendees.
